What is a grid connect solar power system?

Grid connect systems supply solar electricity through an inverter directly to the household. You can save money on your power bill.

What can affect the amount of solar energy received?

The strength of the solar energy (radiation) available depends on the time of year, day, and the latitude of the generation point.

Does roof orientation really matter?

Most certainly. For example, a system with solar panels facing in a southerly direction will generate far less than one with a northerly aspect.

What is a feed in tariff?

A feed in tariff is whereby a grid connect system owner is paid for the electricity their system generates by a utility or government agency.

Can I insure my grid connect system?

Most insurers will allow you to include the system under your home and contents insurance, but check with your insurance company first.

If my energy requirements increase, can I upgrade the system?

Yes. Additional solar panels can be added at any time to increase generating capability, but you might have to upgrade to a larger inverter.

What happens on cloudy days?

In a grid connect system, as you are still tied to the mains power supply, any deficit will come from the mains grid.
